Post Re: Wish Dragon
This was surprisingly great and even when comparing it to Alaadin it does not come out worse. Does it create a "whole new world"? NO. Does it create a "new fantastic point of view"? YES. That is good enough. The world building is rushed but there is enough energy and concept of "what truly matters" behind the wishes that it espaces the perils of similarity. The voice acting is great specially from the trio of leads, even the side actors provide extra energy to already hilarious and heartfelt sequences. The animation is also colorful and vibrant reminding me of Illumination movies and the character designs are great as well. The world building always takes second priority and is rushed most of the times but that does not take away from the overall experience. The emotional aspects are also very slight because the focus is always on comedy.

I give this a solid B
